초록
This paper is concerned with EPP and Case realization in Locative Inversion constructions of English. It is argued that the inverted locative phrase itself satisfies EPP, and the preposition in the fronted PP is the Case realization. To support them, we have used the examples of Chichewa, Korean, and other Dravidian languages. One step further, the DP after V in Locative Inversion constructions has Partative case in LF. This analysis can explain Agreement and Question formation satisfactorily with some pragmatic principles together.
